Chhatia Bata[1] or Chhatia Jagannath Temple[2] is a Hindu temple in the village of Chhatia, between the towns of Cuttack and Chandikhol in Odisha, in eastern India. It is devoted to Jagannath and associated with Kalki, the avatar of Vishnu.
Hadidas mentions this temple in the saga Maalika, predicting that "on a day when all living animals and humans will die and fish will play at the steps of Puri temple".[3]
Chhatia Bata in Odisha is the revered resting place of Mahapurusha Saint Hadidas, the visionary author of the prophetic text Maalika. This sacred scripture, predicts future world events with remarkable accuracy. It foretells the end of Kaliyug, when Lord Vishnu will incarnate as Kalki Avatar to cleanse the world of sin.[4]
According to the prophecy, Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra, and Devi Subhadra will leave their abode in Puri and relocate to Chhatia—the only land that will remain untouched by the rising sea.[4]
